looks like a pista concept ****ed a case of good n plenty.
I can't help but think that those wheels, when spinning really fast, would lift the bike off the ground. Like a helicopter. But really a bike. And with sideways blades.
looks like an 80s bmx bike, like something out of Rad. I love it.

If that were true it'd create a sideways crosswind type force not lifting into the air superman style.

Frozen in silence
Facin it alone
Gotta keep my cool
Make em think I'm made of stone
It's a game of wills we're playin
A love two made of steel
Balanced on the edges of everything we feel
It's gonna take of we've got
Just to make it through this night
Gotta feel it right through my skin
And it's cuttin like a knife
Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for you heart
Ready to take another spill
Only you can make it right
You can break the ice inside of me
A single minded passion
A solitary stand
I thought I was alone
Left out in the cold again
So I'm givin you all I've got
I'm gonna make it through this night
And even though I could fall
I'm prepared to loose the fight
Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for you heart
Ready to take another spill
Only you can make it right
You can break the ice
Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for you heart
Ready to take another spill
Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for you heart
Ready to take another spill
Get ready to break the ice
Feels like time is standing still
Aiming right for you heart
Ready to take another spill

What I was really looking for was a pic of a pink GT pro performer, but nothing turned up.
I used to have a 1986 RL20II just like the one in the picture above, except it was turquoise with turquoise forklifter bars and stem with pink Peregrine mags. And it had a coaser brake with ACS freecoaster (gives you a freewheel option)...that thing was awesome.

From an old thread....
here's the thing with dizz hicks: aside from being a metal looking dude with his tongue sticking out, he was also the "king of the short ramp," that tiny little, totally unexciting wedge of a ramp. you don't jump off of it--you go up it, stall, and go back down. that to me, was somehow endearing.

The best thing about that IF is the cranks and pedals. Everything else is either ridiculous retro gear, or paintjob. They even put V-brakes on, ruining the retro steez.
The trackstar bike actually looks like it would be fun to ride.

I know ****all about BMX, but I do know that the sport has never not been absurd both in its visibility and appeal to soulless consumerism. Track bikes have been absurd for only a few years now that the internet makes one-upism so instantaneous. At least with BMX, you'd have to wait a month or so until the next video or magazine came out to oogle the next big thing. I guess, though, that the X-Games kinda changed that.

the trackstar/dqm bike is ballin - that's for sure - but it doesn't really appeal to me personally for a number of reasons.
never mind that the whole outrageous purple and white color scheme doesn't really do it for me... who would want to buy the bike built up like that, just in terms of... i mean, if you're going to go with a real precise color scheme or very strictly defined aesthetic or whatever, isn't picking out and tracking down parts/piecing it together half the fun?
and i am getting so ****ing sick of aerospokes...

These bikes are killing me guys. Seriously.
Today I was actually just thinking about picking up some old pink girl's bikes and tricking them out. It'd be sweet if I can find one with aerospokes, though I haven't seen one of those in a thrift store in a while.

paul smith x merican sux off the football team
why do all these designer collabos have to be so friggin precious and krappy? Coming up with a loud colorway is NOT my idea of innovation. slopping that colorway all over a million dollar bike just makes it worse.
I'd rather see a real artist (i.e. someone who draws or paints with his/her bare hands) go bananas over a bareknuckle with a paint pen. Cut a goddamn stencil and spray. DO SOMETHING
This whole kaws x bape x zoopreme ***** is so overrated. It's armani for trust fund sneakerkiddies.
It's only by virtue of the bike industry's lowest of the low graphic design standards that this krap even warrants mention. Could you imagine if I painted my snowboard white, and printed CLUSTERFACK DESIGN CO in, oh, I dunno, Arial in mint green and poo brown. Hey look - I'm a designer/ahntra-prinnure.

I wouldn't call yourself a deisgner or entrepreneur at that point.
A designer would probably decide on a much more thought-through color palate and maybe a more refined sans-serif aside from Arial. Using mint green and poo brown, although sometimes tempting, wouldn't be a good business decision considering current color trends and forecasts.
You've got two shops in the community putting their heads together. That's a great thing. Be sick of it, but they're doing wheelies around your style.
